In August, we launched The Input, a new video series for creators in which experts answer your frequently asked questions about everything podcast-related from distribution to analytics.Īnd when you’re ready to take your podcast to the next level, we published Gimlet Academy, a five-part podcast from Gimlet founder Alex Blumberg. All you have to do is go to /promocards to get started.Įducating and supporting creators is what Spotify for Podcasters is here for. Now you can create custom assets to promote your podcast and its episodes on social media. Spreading the word about your podcast just got a lot easier with the introduction of Promo Cards in October. Notifications in Spotify for Podcasters let you know when you’ve been playlisted by our editors. Among them were three flagship playlists that are localized for each market - Best Podcasts of the Week, Crime Scene, and Brain Snacks.

In August, to further aid listeners in podcast discovery, we launched dozens of playlists in the U.S., Germany, Sweden, the U.K., Mexico, and Brazil. Just like in the world of music, playlists are a powerful tool for discovery for podcasts. And Spotify rolled out new personalized mixed-media playlists, too: Daily Wellness and Daily Sports mix topical talk segments with personalized music for listeners, and The Get Up brings personalized music into your morning show ritual. In October, we introduced a new show format that allows creators to combine spoken-word talk segments with music from Spotify’s catalog of 65 million licensed songs for a whole new audio experience that’s ripe for experimentation. Plus, you get daily notifications and share cards in Spotify for Podcasters when your show charts. We wanted to give your podcast more opportunities for recognition and discovery so we revamped our podcast charts so that listeners can see the top 200 shows overall, the top 50 in over a dozen categories, and the top 50 trending podcasts daily. Even if you haven't signed up for Spotify for Podcasters yet, as long as you have at least three listeners this year through October 31, a Wrapped experience is waiting for you.Īnd we’ve been busy this year building new ways for your show to reach listeners around the world, so, we wanted to share our own list of highlights with you too – think of it as our own little Wrapped: Go to your Spotify for Podcasters dashboard to access your Wrapped and then share the results with your fans.

Now that the year is coming to a close, it’s time to look back and celebrate your podcast’s strides with your listeners - it’s time for your 2020 Wrapped.Ī personalized look at your podcast’s year on Spotify, Wrapped celebrates the gains you made compared to last year, where in the world your fanbase grew the most, top-performing episodes, and much more. But create you did – despite everything that’s happened, you managed to adapt and even find ways for your podcast to thrive. This has been a year of unprecedented upheaval and reckonings that have forced us all to adapt and adjust the ways we live, work, and create. To say that 2020 has been a challenging year for all of us is an understatement.
